To help my hon. Friend, new clause 6 is dependent on other matters. What matters here is new clause 7 and new clause 5. We need a clause; I would prefer it to be new clause 5, and the hon. Member for Ruislip-Northwood would prefer new clause 7. I said that I am happy not to press new clause 5 to a Division, and I put my arguments forward in the best way I could and as comprehensively as possible. I will leave it to the Committee to decide how to proceed.
